[Dataman]

Fatalis is misleading with his original accusation:

If "day" (the Hebrew "yom") must always be translated as a single 24 hour period,

No one claims that yom must always be translated as a literal 24 hour period. That's what I like about these evos: manufacture evidence for evolution; manufacture evidence against creation. Getting at the truth is not the objective.

"No one claims that yom must always be translated as a literal 24 hour period."

No one?

[Fatalis]

No one claims that yom must always be translated as a literal 24 hour period.

Then why do so many literal Creationists claim that of Genesis 1?
